PET tape is doing 90% of the work here and I'm not sorry about it.

I laid down a few strips of @ardencreativestudio Ledger PET tape right and some filmstrip PET right over that, and just like that — instant dimension, that soft frosted-glass look, zero extra steps. A few rubons later and it all came together. It's the kind of shortcut that feels like cheating but is actually just... good supplies doing their job.

Junk journalers, you already know this combo builds texture fast. Bullet journalers — this is your sign that a "decorated spread" doesn't have to mean an hour of drawing. Rubon, tape, done.

Go raid your stash — I promise the tape is worth digging for.
